Full list of 53 Jehovah’s Witnesses charged or named as suspects or currently on trial for “extremism”-related offences as of 11 July 2018. Of these, 22 are in detention, 3 under house arrest and 27 under travel restrictions. Only one is not under restrictions as the criminal investigation proceeds.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

More than 50 Jehovah’s Witnesses are now facing criminal prosecution for exercising their right to freedom of religion and belief. Law enforcement agencies carried out yet more armed raids, searches, and arrests in a further five Russian regions in June and early July, bringing to 22 the number of people now in detention. Another three are under house arrest, and 27 are under travel restrictions.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

A full list of Jehovah’s Witnesses currently (12 July 2018) known to be facing criminal prosecution \u00e2\u20ac\u201c in detention, under house arrest, under travel restrictions, and in one case under no known restrictions – is given below.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The most recent arrests include Anastasiya Polyakova in Omsk, the first woman known to have been placed in pre-trial detention, although several others had already been charged or named as suspects and put under travel restrictions (see F18News 11 July 2018\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/font>http:\/\/www.forum18.org\/archive.php?article_id=2394<\/a>.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

A total of 53 Jehovah’s Witnesses have been charged or named as suspects or are currently on trial for “extremism”-related offences as of 11 July 2018. The majority of these people \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 12 women, 37 men \u00e2\u20ac\u201c are under investigation for “continuing the activities” of the banned Jehovah’s Witness Administrative Centre and its local communities.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

As of 11 July 2018, 22 people are in pre-trial detention (21 men, 1 woman), three people are under house arrest (all men), and 27 people (11 women, 16 men) are under travel restrictions. Only one man is currently under no restrictions.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

For exercising their right to freedom of religion and belief, the Jehovah’s Witnesses stand accused of continuing the activities of their national-level Administrative Centre and the local communities which it oversaw. All of these were outlawed as “extremist” by Supreme Court rulings of 20 April and 17 July 2017 (see F18News 18 July 2017\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/font>http:\/\/www.forum18.org\/archive.php?article_id=2297<\/a>).<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

International human rights law, however, allows anyone to exercise freedom of religion and belief without state permission.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Muslims also targeted<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Muslim readers of works by theologian Said Nursi are also targeted by “anti-extremism” raids, prosecutions and jailings. Continuing a pattern of jailings re-started in 2017, the most recent jailing was of Imam Komil Odilov who was jailed for two years for meeting with others to study Nursi’s works. Six Muslim men are known to be currently in prison \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or in custody with appeals pending \u00e2\u20ac\u201c having been found guilty of involvement in meetings to read Nursi’s works (see F18News 8 June 2018\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/font>http:\/\/www.forum18.org\/archive.php?article_id=2386<\/a>).<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Although no Jehovah’s Witnesses have yet been given formal jail terms, many have been detained for a long time. These include Dennis Ole Christensen (born 18 December 1972) who was arrested on 25 May 2017 and put into detention on 26 May 2017.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Investigators have opened criminal cases against these Jehovah’s Witnesses under Criminal Code Article 282.2, Part 1 (“Organisation of the activity of a social or religious association or other organisation in relation to which a court has adopted a decision legally in force on liquidation or ban on the activity in connection with the carrying out of extremist activity”) or Part 2 (“Participation in the activity of a social or religious association or other organisation in relation to which a court has adopted a decision legally in force on liquidation or ban on the activity in connection with the carrying out of extremist activity “), and in a few instances under Article 282.3, Part 1 (“Financing of extremist activity”).<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

If convicted, they could receive lengthy prison sentences or heavy fines (see Forum 18’s Russia “extremism” religious freedom survey\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/font>http:\/\/www.forum18.org\/archive.php?article_id=2215<\/a>). It is unknown when any of their cases will come to court.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
